Thanks Kurt, I like your captions. I hadn't thought about APOD but per your suggestion I emailed them to see if they are interested. Cheers, patrick On 21 Jun 2008, at 14:10, Canopus56 wrote:

Thank you for sharing those, Patrick. You did a really nice set of evocative pictures. The one's I liked (the titles are my inventions):

"Meteorite" Re-entry http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/suntun/24.jpg

"Bracelet" shadows http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/suntun/11.jpg

Illuminated dust http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/suntun/21.jpg

Changing nature http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/suntun/01.jpg

Salt column eruptions? http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/suntun/05.jpg

Ice age Bonneville shorelines http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/suntun/07.jpg

It is a testatement to man's need to feel connected to natural time through astronomical events that about twenty carloads of people (and one airplane) would choose, when gas is $4.40 a gallon, make a 400 mile round trip to stand witness to the event.

"Meteorite rentry" is APOD worthy material or local news worthy. You should submit that one to APOD tonight since they give preference to current astronomical events pics. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/suntun/24.jpg

"Changing nature", "Salt column eruptions?" and "Ice age Bonneville shorelines" are all EPOD ( http://www.epod.org ) worthy submittals.

P.S. - To Rodger (Fry, geologist), what makes those round structures in "Salt column eruptions?"
